But you can win them as a prize in our competition just by answering a simple-ish question and get to see what our own reviewer has described as a “must-see” show.
Peter Pan, Captain Hook and Tinker Bell have flown into the Fairfield Halls this Christmas with a star-studded cast, headed up by EastEnders Ricky Champ as Captain Hook and Gemma Hunt as Tinker Bell.
Also in the cast are Crackerjack’s Mark Rhodes as Smee and Channel 5 Milkshake! presenter David Ribi as Peter Pan, all starring in a brand-new swashbuckling adventure full of fun, laughter… and crocodiles!
After defeating the evil Captain Hook and his crew of prancing pirates, life has been pretty perfect for Peter Pan. But when a stranger arrives in Neverland, he is forced to question his past and face his future. Will Peter ever grow up?
And then there are the rumours… That a certain someone survived the stormy seas and is seeking revenge! Have you heard them too? People are saying … that Hook is back!
So watch out… he might be behind you!
There is only one winner in our panto competition – and that will be the person who correctly answers this question:
What is the name of the author of the original Peter Pan stories?
Email your answer, with “Fairfield Halls Peter Pan competition” in the subject field, before the closing date of noon on Tuesday, December 20, to inside.croydon@btinternet.com. You must also include a daytime contact phone number.
